"So fast! This Crown Prince is really not to be underestimated. Last night, Prince Yu had just imprisoned the Ajati Matriarch in the mansion, and this morning, he came out of the palace in plain clothes. And the commander of the Divine Arms Battalion, Hong Xi? Hmph, if that's the case, I won't stay away anymore. "
Hong Yi said, and suddenly a cold smile flashed across his face.
"The Crown Prince is here! He's at the door, Hong Yi, stay away for a while! "
After the guard at the door finished reporting, Prince Yu stood up. He looked a little nervous at first, but he immediately recovered. He waved his hand calmly and said to Hong Yi.
"Wang Ye, I'll leave first." Gan Qingfeng quickly said. He glared at the people behind him, took a few steps, walked into the inner hall, and hid. A few maids also quickly cleaned up the noodles, snacks, and milk tea on the table.
However, Hong Yi did not stand up. He smiled and said, "The Crown Prince is very dignified. Naturally, I have to stay by Wang Ye's side. Moreover, I'd like to see how Hong Xi, the eldest son of Marquis Wu Wen, has become in this year. Is he qualified to inherit Marquis Wu Wen's title in the future? "
When Hong Yi heard the news of the Crown Prince's arrival, he initially wanted to stay away. However, when he heard that Hong Xi was among them, he did not want to stay away.
Facing Marquis Wu Wen, Hong Xuanji, his own father, a Human Immortal expert, Hong Yi dared to fight head-on and scold each other. Why would he take Hong Xi seriously?
A year ago, Hong Xi had a lot of troops and influence. It could be said that if he moved his little finger, Hong Yi would be doomed eternally. But now, Hong Yi could casually squash Hong Xi to death with just a finger.
In a year's time, there was such a big difference and a reversal of power.
However, Hong Yi did not intend to kill Hong Xi right away. Instead, he wanted to take things one step at a time and play until the other party was in despair.
To Madam Zhao and her family, killing them would be letting them off too easily.
"Alright! The Crown Prince's martial arts are profound, and his Dao techniques are profound as well. The pressure is indeed heavy. With a master like you by my side, I can feel more at ease. However, you better not reveal your Dao techniques. Otherwise, it will be hard to explain in the future, "Prince Yu warned.
Hong Yi nodded and said, "Of course I know that. However, when necessary, we must let the crown prince know how powerful we are. Otherwise, he will think that we are easy to bully."
"Hahahaha, Fourth Brother, you're really diligent. It's so early in the morning and you're already talking about money and rations with your subordinates. How is it? Recently, the Ministry of Revenue has received reports from various places urging for money, food, and soldiers' salaries, as well as disaster relief and river repair. You must be overwhelmed with work, right? I know that you have been having a hard time recently, so I specially brought some tonics for you to nourish your body. In the future, I will be relying on you for a lot of times. Don't overwork yourself. "
Just as Hong Yi shut his mouth, two loud laughs came from outside. Following that, three people appeared at the corridor's entrance. One was an old eunuch wearing a red robe. His hands were empty, and he had hawk-like eyes and a tortoise shape. The other was a man wearing a platinum robe and a golden crown.
This man was the Divine Strategy Battalion's commander, Marquis Wuwen's eldest son, Hong Xi, who wielded great power and authority.
However, of these three people, Hong Xi was not the main character. Standing in front of them was a man wearing a purple gauze robe and a jade crown. He held a folding fan in his hand, and between his eyebrows was an overflowing purple aura. His life and fortune were indescribably noble. He was the main character.
The handsome man with a purple aura between his brows was the Crown Prince of the Great Qian Dynasty, Yang Yuan!
"This Crown Prince Yang Yuan is really noble! Purple Qi Comes From The East! It was no wonder that he could occupy the position of Crown Prince for so long. In comparison, Prince Yu paled in comparison. His power, domineeringness, and imperial aura were all clearly lacking. He could not exert pressure on one's soul. If there were no accidents, the position of Dynasty Divine Weapon would definitely belong to the Crown Prince after the Emperor passed away! Prince Yu has no hope at all. However, there is now the Champion Marquis. The Champion Marquis's appearance is also noble. Compared to the Crown Prince, just based on his aura, I really can't tell who is better. "
When Hong Yi saw Crown Prince Yang Yuan, he was startled.
This was because Xiao Chen had cultivated to an extremely high realm, breaking through the barrier between life and death. Naturally, he could sense the might and Emperor's Qi in the Crown Prince's body.
This Emperor's Qi was not a true air current or cloud Qi. Instead, it was something that gave people a feeling, something that could be understood but not described.
When Daoists with profound Dao techniques looked at Qi, they usually looked at the other party's mental state to determine the other party's achievements, which was also their fate. Basically, they would not be far from the mark.
Seeing the purple Qi in Crown Prince Yang Yuan's brows, Hong Yi thought of the Champion Marquis.
He realized that if he really wanted to fight for the throne, it was really hard for him to predict the future.
"Hmph! The future has endless changes. It is ethereal and ethereal. Even immortals cannot grasp it. Although Prince Yu's Qi is lacking, that is because he is not strong enough. If he is strong enough, his confidence will increase, and his aura will naturally increase. "
Hong Yi laughed coldly and stood up. When he saw Prince Yu, he went up to him and bowed to greet the Crown Prince.
According to the court's etiquette, the Crown Prince was the heir apparent, and the King was the subject. Even if they were brothers, they had to bow, and the Crown Prince could even reprimand the King. Of course, he had to reprimand the other party when he did something wrong. He could not casually criticize the other party.
Just as the Crown Prince and Prince Yu exchanged a few words and walked towards the reception hall, Hong Yi felt a sharp gaze on his face.
Needless to say, it was Hong Xi's gaze.
Hong Yi smiled coldly and looked over. As expected, it was Hong Xi. His eyes were like knives, bright and sharp, and he had the ferocious aura of a general.
His gaze pierced Hong Yi, and there was even a hint of disdain in it.
These expressions of Hong Xi were deeply imprinted in Hong Yi's mind through his gaze.
"Hmph! How dare you look down on me? Did Hong Xuanji not tell his son about my prowess? Of course, he would not tell anyone about such an embarrassing thing. Forget it! Hong Xi, oh Hong Xi, I will let you know my prowess today! I will defeat you with my martial arts! Let me toy with you first! "
Seeing the disdain, disdain, and disdain in Hong Xi's eyes, Hong Yi was infuriated, but he only laughed coldly.
"Hong Yi pays his respects to the Crown Prince."
When Prince Yu and the Crown Prince walked in, Hong Yi bowed and sat down calmly. This made Hong Xi frown again, but Hong Yi smiled as if adding fuel to the fire. He raised his head slightly and looked at Hong Xi with a provocative gaze.
The provocative look in Hong Yi's eyes would cause anyone's heart to burn with anger, let alone Hong Xi who had always viewed Hong Yi as a bastard.
"Hong Yi! It's you! You've already returned to Jade Capital? Why didn't you return to the residence to greet your parents? Why did you come to Wang Ye's residence early in the morning to disturb him? Why are you so unruly? And why didn't you kneel when you saw the Crown Prince? What kind of rule is this? Hurry up and kneel, then go to the residence to greet your parents! "
Suddenly, Hong Xi spoke.
The moment he spoke, his tone was sharp and strict, and it was obvious that he was reprimanding! However, in terms of etiquette, no one could find any fault.
The elder brother was the father, not to mention the eldest son of the first wife. It was natural for him to reprimand Hong Yi, a younger brother of a concubine, and no one could find fault.
"Oh? I've already bowed to the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince came out incognito, so naturally, he followed the etiquette of commoners. Moreover, I'm a scholar, laughing at nobles and treating officials coldly. This is the demeanor of a scholar. I think the Crown Prince won't mind my arrogance. The Crown Prince has always been kind to scholars, so he probably won't mind my arrogance. As for me, I've already gone to the West Mountain to meet my mother. Which mother do I have to go back to the residence to meet? "
Hong Yi laughed and stood up. He stared at Hong Xi with a cold gaze.
"Go to the West Mountain to meet your mother? How come I don't know which mother is in the West Mountain? Your mother, Lady Zhao, is in the Hou Mansion. The one in the West Mountain is just a concubine. You're a High Scholar? Don't you know the rules of etiquette? "
Hong Xi laughed mischievously, and a cruel expression formed at the corners of his mouth. It was terrifying, like a ferocious tiger revealing its sharp claws and teeth.
According to the rules of the Da Qian, the mother of a concubine was the main wife. Even if the concubine was the birth mother, she was just a concubine. She had to pay her respects to the main wife and not to the birth mother.
"Haha, haha! You said it well! Very well said! However, I've read ancient books, and according to the etiquette of the sages, I only know that 'she gave birth to me as a mother'. There is no such thing as a concubine in the books. However, Hong Xi, you don't read the books. As a martial artist, it's normal that you don't understand etiquette. "
Hong Yi laughed sinisterly, and his tone became sharper. He directly mocked Hong Xi for being a martial artist and not understanding etiquette.
This was what the previous dynasty's prime minister, Li Yan, had said to Hong Xuanji many years ago.
Although Hong Xi had read books, he had not taken part in the official imperial examinations, and there was no need for him to do so. On the other hand, Hong Yi was a High Scholar and the top Top Scorer. Naturally, one could say that Hong Xi was a martial artist.
"You …"
After being scolded by Hong Yi, Hong Xi's face turned red, and his hair stood on end.
However, Hong Yi did not let him off. He laughed and said, "There are benefits to being a martial artist. One can protect the country. However, this also requires a strong ability. Brother Xi, as the Commander of the Divine Arms Battalion, you hold military power. I wonder if you can protect the Imperial City? It's good that the two of us meet. This time, I went out to train and learned some martial arts. I would like to ask you for some pointers. Today, the Crown Prince and Brother Prince Yu are enjoying the snow. How about we brothers help the Crown Prince and Wang Ye enjoy it a little? I wonder if you are interested? "
As Hong Yi spoke, he had already raised his hand and raised his eyebrows.
"Haha, you are just a bastard, and you want to offend your superiors? Offend me? What position do you hold? And what position do I hold? " Hong Xi stared at Hong Yi. His eyes looked like they were going to gouge out a lump of flesh. Suddenly, he laughed disdainfully and shouted, "Teng Lei!"
"Here!"
Just at this moment, a voice came from afar. Clearly, it was one of the experts that Hong Xi had brought with him. He was resting on the other side.
"You and Hong Yi can have a go. Don't injure him too badly." Hong Xi smiled coldly and sat down on a chair.
"Hmph!"
Just as the expert that was called appeared at the door, Hong Yi suddenly snorted coldly! His figure flashed and he appeared in front of Hong Xi like a ghost!
He slapped Hong Xi's face!
This time, Hong Yi's speed was extremely fast! As his body moved, a series of illusions appeared. It was a sudden burst of power, and no one could react in time!
Moreover, he had just cultivated the Earth Pole Second Acupoint. His leg techniques and body movements were fast. Such a close-range attack was equivalent to the fusion of spirit and body. He was a Martial Grandmaster at the peak of the Martial Way!
Just as Hong Xi was about to sit down, he saw a shadow flash in front of him. Even with his Grandmaster cultivation, he could not see clearly how the enemy moved. His heart was filled with alarm. With a loud roar, he leaped back violently with extreme agility!
However, his leg techniques and body movements were slightly inferior to Hong Yi's. Moreover, his martial arts were also not as good as Hong Yi's.
His body had just leaped up when he received a slap on his face.
This slap was so powerful that it was like a bull ramming into a wall. The crisp sound of the slap. Pa! It resounded throughout the entire mansion.
Hong Xi was slapped across the face, and he tumbled twice in the air before falling to the ground. Pressing his hand against the ground, he spat out two bloodied teeth!
Everyone present was stunned!
Even Prince Yu and the Crown Prince were stunned!
No one expected that as Hong Yi spoke, he would slap Hong Xi, causing him to tumble on the ground and spit out his bloody teeth.
Everything was developing too quickly, and there was no time for him to think.
Hong Xi, a dignified commander, was actually slapped and rolled to the ground! He did not even have the chance to resist.
"The Earth Pole Second Acupoint is indeed amazing!"
After sending Hong Xi flying with a slap, Hong Yi's heart was as calm as still water. He was not the least bit afraid of the consequences of this matter. Furthermore, he already knew the power of the Earth Pole Two Apertures recorded in the 《Present Rulai Sutra》!
"Although my martial arts are above Hong Xi's, it is still impossible for me to slap him before I cultivate the Earth Pole Second Acupoint."
Hong Yi's martial arts were now far above Hong Xi's.
After his body was tempered by the Divine Firmament Dao's Electric Brilliance Body Technique, he consumed the evil god's blood, and he even condensed the eight Shang Jing Eight Deities, the first acupoint of the Valley Deity, and the second acupoint of the Earth Pole Second Acupoint. After cultivating the True Wu Sheng Body, Hong Yi's body had become unbelievably strong!
Right now, Hong Xi was only a great grandmaster. He might be on par with Chi Zhuiyang. How could he be a match for Hong Yi?
"Aiya! Why didn't you resist? I thought that as the commander of the Divine Strategy Battalion, you would be alert even when a mosquito flies by. How could your martial arts be so weak? Didn't Father teach you the Universal Death Wheel? "
Hong Yi exclaimed after slapping Hong Xi.
